"CPR in progress, patient very combative, please have security standing by" If I'm lying I'm dying, this really came over the radio to our ER back around '92-93. Was some volunteer ambo service rolling in, I asked if patient was alert and breathing o...

This patient has an extremely good case against the hospital, the school and the family. I would encourage the patient to get a lawyer on this. Criminal Penalties In June 2005, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) clarified who can be held crimina...

UND is not a bridge program, it is set up similar to other schools, like Stanford, but they limit their applicant field. Where most schools consider LPN's, EMT's CNA's to be valid HCE, UND doesn't. PA education is pretty much the same at all 154 sch...

There are no bridge programs to go from anything to PA and no part time programs to become a PA. Like Neo said, Extremely rigorous. I'm at the end of my didactic year and since last july we have been in class M-F 33-36 hours per week, I study about 4...

Is she cute??:D:D:D

don't do anything with MEDCEU, google complaints against them. They are a rip off, they claim to be approved by BON's of all the states but they are not approved at any. Just stay away from them. I got a an autodeduction from my bank account last yea...

I miss the old xray dark rooms:rckn::rckn::rckn:

Bottom line though is talk this over with a lawyer, call around, may be able to find one that does not charge for initial consultation.

Taking a prescribed medication as labeled is not an issue, regardless, codeine is still detectable in urine 1-2 days after last dose and also, OP said cough syrup taken at night not for sleep. Don't demonized someone for taking a medication they are ...

You don't want a pharmacist giving you any kind of lecture, trust me. My pharm class notes were prepared by a pharmD and presented by an MD who was confused a lot of the time by the over the top material. Second term he threw out the PharmD's power p...

wow, this thread is still alive?? Please, put it out of it's misery lol.

You could always ease an 18 in the EJ when nobody's looking lol.

Patients don't always read the books so you have to modify your treatment accordingly. As you progress in your career you will be able to judge what needle to use in whatever situation. Did the RN give it at an angle consistent with IM or SubQ? You c...

what we have here is a CNO in the making. You really like the term management, sounds good don't it? Wait til you get there, not all it's cracked up to be. In my 20yrs I've seen more managers fired than employees, I've seen more CEO's, CNO's CFO's an...

My 1st nursing job was my hometown community ER, small 4 bed ER I spent almost 3yrs there. During that time I took care of: my grandparents from a MVA (try to tell your granddad to stay on the backboard), my family physician (DKA), buddy from high sc...

It's a hospital not a prison, you can't demand a patient to do anything and your instructor is foolish in their belief. Let the instructor go in and force the patient to bath that way when the police come and arrest her for assault (and could argue s...

My standard answer when asked if I could come in on my off day has always been "I'm sorry I'd really like to come in I could use the money but I've had a couple drinks and I'm not capable of working." Always worked.

I think you will find that most of the "get out now" advice is offered around unsafe or questionable hospital/clinic/LTC practices. Most of time this advice is given when said person is put in a position that could impact their license. Conflicts wit...

How did they get by TOEFL?

The thing that shocks me the most about this is all the reply's that basically condone this bad behavior. Many of the reply's are making excuses for this person and defending them. If the behavior continues go to your manager, if that doesn't solve i...

It's tough, like you I've been a nurse for 20yrs. 10yrs LPN and 10yrs RN and I burned out right after RN school. I traveled for the past 8yrs which helped a lot but even then it started to wear on me. Some mention vacations and that is all well and g...

Yes you can be charge and manager. I was both at a 15 bed ER in east tennessee.

working a code years ago in a small 5 bed ER and usually the floor (we only had one floor) charge and ICU nurse would come over to help (we only had 2 nurses in the ER) and this day a new grad was working the floor and came over. She was doing compre...

Well, "we used to do it like that" but "with that being said" I'd have to point out that "it is what it is", however, you need "to roll with the punches" and "pay attention to detail" or get caught up in the "he said, she said" stuff but I'd advise y...

Nope, no problem at all. I had an entry level sepatration from the Navy when I was 18 due to a prior knee injury that gave me problems in basic. I was discharged b/c they did not want to take on the possiblity of having to deal with the injury in fut...
